Which of the following procedural safeguards is designed to protect against self-incrimination?

  1. No Double Jeopardy

  2. No Excessive Bail

  3. Protected against cruel and unusual punishment

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

Procedural safeguards are legal mechanisms designed to protect individuals' rights in the legal system. Option A, no double jeopardy, is a safeguard that guarantees an individual cannot be tried for the same crime twice. Option B, no excessive bail, is a safeguard that ensures bail amounts are reasonable and not unfairly high. Option C, protection against cruel and unusual punishment, is a safeguard that prohibits the use of cruel and unusual punishments for convicted individuals. However, none of these safeguards specifically protect against self-incrimination, which is the right to not be forced to testify against oneself. Therefore, the correct answer is D, none of the above.
